*Bombshell about grand jury: Interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan took the stand briefly Wednesday, saying only two grand jurors reviewed the final indictment it handed up against former FBI Director James Comey. Comey’s attorney then argued Halligan’s testimony indicates, “there is no indictment” against his client.
Should it be tossed? A federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia, heard former Comey’s arguments for why his indictment should be dismissed. Comey’s attorney, Michael Dreeben, argued the case was brought at the direction of President Donald Trump and based on his animosity toward Comey. Prosecutor Tyler Lemons said that Halligan was “not a puppet” and the case was based on Comey’s alleged lie.
• The case: Comey is accused of lying during a 2020 hearing about whether he ever authorized leaks to the press and has pleaded not guilty. The judge is weighing whether Trump’s history of anti-Comey comments and a social media post asking Attorney General Pam Bondi for “justice” enough to show Comey was unfairly plucked for prosecution.
The faith of the common clay of the West that things like actual expertise are basically all part of a communist plot to sap us of our precious bodily fluids does have some practical drawbacks.
